Call For Papers
13th ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles
October 13-16, 1991
Asilomar Conference Grounds
Pacific Grove, California
For more than two decades, the ACM Symposium on Operating
Systems Principles has been the premier forum for the
presentation of operating systems innovations.
Authors are invited to submit papers to the 13th SOSP
describing original research contributions related to the
design, implementation, and analysis of operating systems.
The field of operating systems is closely tied to other
areas of computer science such as computer architecture,
data communications, programming systems, and application
areas. The Symposium attracts attendees with diverse back-
grounds, and we explicitly solicit papers not only in the
"traditional core" of the field, but also in the interface
to these other areas. Topics of interest include, but are
not restricted to:
Reliability System structure and organization
Multiprocessor systems Language and programming issues
Support for multimedia Performance tools and techniques
Real-time systems I/O and file systems
Communication High-performance systems
Heterogeneous systems Security
Transactional approache The architecture / OS interface
Distributed systems
Papers should be no longer than 5000 words (about 20
double-spaced pages) and must not have been published else-
where or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
The title of the paper and the authors' names and addresses
should appear on a cover sheet accompanying the paper, but
the authors should not be identified in the paper itself.
Blind reviewing will be done by the program committee,
assisted by outside referees.
Please send fifteen copies of your paper to the Program

Authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign an ACM
copyright release form. Proceedings will be distributed at
the Symposium and published as an issue of Operating Systems
Review, the SIGOPS quarterly. Papers of particular merit
also will be forwarded to ACM Transactions on Computer Sys-
tems.
